The political war around daylight saving time takes a nasty turn

夏令時、冬令時,一年變兩次鐘,為何如此折磨人(有人話係因為益農民,畀佢哋更多嘅白天時間,但其實唔make sense,因為歷史上係為咗控制能源消耗,白天多一啲等於照明時間可以少一啲)
當然,從趨勢嚟睇,可以期待之後就會徹底廢除,至少係已經越嚟越多人對此有意見
有意思嘅係,兩派嘅人會"Each suggests that the other is in the pocket of special interests. Yates has gone so far as to question whether Jay Pea is actually a real name (Pea showed POLITICO a California ID with his name on it) and accused Pea of operating several fake accounts on Twitter (Pea said he didn't have time for fake accounts). Pea, meanwhile, believes Yates is a 'wealthy powerful friend of Marco Rubio' (Yates said he did consult with Rubio's office but has never had face time with a member of Congress on the issue)."。有夠無聊。。往往會變成人身攻擊,大哥們,觀點先係最重要,民主嘅社會,選民唔會因為意見領袖嘅人品、政黨嘅立場而去投票,而係從自身出發,咪成日咁幼稚啦!(不過,而家嘅政治都會發展到噉。。而且都係會有人buy,呢個唔出奇,都冇辦法)

最新研究揭秘:第一批打宫颈癌疫苗的女孩,现在怎么样了?

good to see that it works and many young girls can benefit from the new free-vaccine policy.

端傳媒:用時間工具抵抗焦慮的人

時間焦慮,其實好諷刺,經濟科技越發達,越覺得時間少、緊張、每一刻都唔可以「浪費」,點解呢?一個係過於功利化,要高考、揾錢;一個係剝削更厲害了,如系統發現送外賣嘅時間可以越嚟越少,所以標準越嚟越嚴格;上班要按時,否則扣工資
時間工具,原本唔係呢種焦慮嘅產物,正如呢篇文章所講,最初係為咗畀嗰啲按時間收費嘅人使用。但人們發現呢種工具可以令自己利用每一分每一秒,將「不浪費」發揮到極致,所以大量使用,嚟提高效率
不過,如果只係用而唔知其原理,就有啲似捨本逐末(好在呢個不成問題,因為開發工具嘅人往往唔希望你離開)。而且,噉樣逼得自己好盡,事後自己諗返,其實做過乜嘢呢?千奇唔好忘記咗乜嘢係最重要嘅!

plus:睇完<梅豔芳>之後,更加有感觸,如果知道自己做緊乜嘢,按住scheduled嚟,make sense好多,做緊自己知道有意義嘅事情,見到時間嘅付出同流失,一樣咁寶貴

SARS-CoV-2 vaccine protection and deaths among US veterans during 2021

Delta變種真係太恐怖,各種疫苗對預防感染同死亡嘅效果都顯著下降(下降嘅一小部分原因都有係體內抗體嘅減少)。所以補打第三針已經係十分建議(尤其對於打咗強生),睇到呢張圖,已經可以想象到科興同國藥嘅曲線了(從六七成跌到去xx%\x%(我更傾向於後者))(而且唔講呢六七成係計埋感染輕度患者)。
對於嗰啲一針都未打嘅人嚟講,其實冇乜嘢影響。但都係要講嗰句,實驗仍然證明疫苗對減少被感染、減輕患病症狀、降低死亡率有幫助‌

端傳媒:《梅艷芳》沒拍出來的梅艷芳:當那些缺席你我心知肚明

感動到不得了,但都要講係有好多不足噶喇,從選角搭配、故事真實性&完整連貫性、人物複雜性,要講嘅話可以講一大通。要知道呢部電影已經係喺審查制度未加強、立法未正式之前,都已經成條線cut咗,以後會點,可想而知,怎可能一個「慘」字講得完呢?
所有嘢都冇可能完整,但格硬將其它嘢都整到更加唔完整,我想問,究竟有邊個真係真心中意啊

「如果有如果……」,當我噉諗嘅時候,路邊一盞橙黃色嘅路燈突然變得暗淡,「可惜冇如果,u must be too tired to alight,『呢個係事實嚟嘅,你追唔返,因為已經過去咗』,但我哋活着的人呢,應該要更好地活着,做更多自己想做嘅嘢,on my way,keep going!」

Drinking linked to a decline in brain health from cradle to grave

啱睇到 ̶最̶新̶ (其實都唔新,係2020年嘅)研究報告,飲酒對人嘅大腦健康有害,特別係飲大晒,而人羣最敏感嘅時期嚟講分別係妊娠期(從受孕到生出嚟)、青春期後期(15-19歲)同老年(65岁以上)

so,飲少啲酒,同我一齊飲coffee啦,啱心水嘅奶茶or其他飲料都不錯

豆瓣:文学的“溺爱”

一個好有趣嘅話題。
矛盾嘅地方,一定有人性——人嘅複雜性
簡單嚟講就係,冇錯,人就係雙標嘅動物;噉點解要雙標呢?都好簡單,因為每個人都有自己嘅邊界同立場

同真實之間有一個唔明顯但實際存在嘅邊界,虛構嘅人物點衰都好,都同現實中嘅人唔同,我哋喺虛構入邊唔會考慮太多自己嘅立場同利益。而且虛構入邊,everything is fixed,唔會有更多嘅新嘢(除非有續集or作者剖析);但現實中,我哋往往係一啲一啲去瞭解,而且往往係殘缺而片面地瞭解;
當我哋在虛構時,我們有選擇繼續or離開嘅權利,可以自由抒發自己嘅意見(甚至改寫結局),我哋係上帝,係被「寵愛」,所以我哋會享受呢個過程(無論係happy or sad, peaceful or heart-broken);而現實中,我哋好難控制好多嘢所有嘅事情,而且係不明不白就發生就遇見,完全冇防備準備

CNN:Missing teen rescued after making a hand gesture she learned from TikTok to signal for help

last week, we talked about Facebook\Instagram had done good for those in poor areas. this week, let's read this news to know about TikTok's story.
and as the old saying, technique is neither good nor bad, it's just about who use it and how to control\use it.

都有諗到羅翔退出微博之後繼續喺bilibili發視頻,並將收益捐出去

WashingtonPost:Serious about climate change? Get serious about peat (呢個係12ft鏡像鏈接,原鏈接click呢度

自然嘅係最好嘅(好似又太絕對),改造大自然嘅想法係好,只不過過度破壞平衡之後點補鑊呢?研究發現泥炭地係超高效嘅儲存碳嘅方法,so,protect and build more is a good idea, no matter how long

Four-Day Commute to Work Via Kayak

quite interesting, think about that: "Sorry I was late for work, I was commuting for days."
slow it down, do we have to move so fast to get "lost"?
慢慢地走(行路、撐艇等等),就係一種浪漫~

钱满素:希特勒現象 & 一個律師的筆記本:喬治歐威爾談二戰前的英國:反帝反戰反特權的「左派知識份子」,就是一群純粹消極性的生物

民眾嘅思想土壤好重要,如果大家都指望一個「領袖」嚟帶領人們走出危機,噉就避免唔到有一次呢個人會變成新嘅皇帝、獨裁者;如果大家都掛住要「他人為自己戰鬥嘅和平」,噉可能就係自己淪陷

但我又諗,如果我哋唔知敵人究竟係點嘅呢?噉反戰嘅意義就會變得好大,例如美國嘅反越南戰爭,反對到處宣戰開戰。好似好矛盾?如果因為「愛國」就唔講消極嘅説話,噉點樣反思戰爭呢?是否主動開戰係一個方面,但有時都唔可以絕對化。
我諗嘅係,誇大其(消極觀點)危害係有問題嘅,就算呢種觀點會降低羣眾嘅警惕、抵抗心,但如果真嘅危險嚟到,佢哋係會反抗的,就好似二戰嘅英國人噉;而更加重要嘅係,我哋需要唔同嘅聲音,唔同嘅觀點,去幫助我哋去更加全面地瞭解事件同不同嘅角度;呢個係普適的,即使喺德國,如果嗰陣有人不畏迫害而反抗,噉大家就唔會輕易似綿羊一樣感激暫時未下殺手,仲慶幸「當初聽講話要全部殺晒,而家只係搶走我哋嘅財富,趕我哋去波蘭工作」(結局大家都知,波蘭所謂嘅工廠其實就係集中營)

顾晓阳 | 危险!失去历史感的一代

主要講嘅係公社、四人幫嘅時期。無須多言。歷史似乎變得越嚟越唔重要,但,世界又沒有變得越嚟越好

熊培云:不要活在新闻里

稍微偏少少題,一路以嚟都可以接受自己乜嘢都唔知嘅時候,做一個不知時事嘅人,其實都可以,沒有什麼大不了的

當然,篇文主要都係話新聞只係現實嘅一部分而唔係全部;傳媒嘅報道肯定會有影響,但作為個體,我哋應該要有自己嘅思考同理解,而唔係等人哋畀答案,跟住自己唔理三七二十一就信咗。
